It works in many ranked games we play in DM, but that is 1v1 and not tourney play. I will do it when I think there’s a chance. It would also get in my head if the opponent put a penalty on the line. I’d be all like “they don’t even think we can hit a 4 meter shot” hahaha

My preferred location depends entirely on the situation. I learned some tricks from Dobbie in Rockford. I liked his placement for us. It was way on the left line, a foot or two back from the centerline. I think he thought we might not have a baton left after a crummy inkastare by your truly…

One aspect that played out for our team in Madison this weekend: We practiced as a team for particular positions and I found that I needed to be more flexible as a player. I only have so much time to practice. Does nailing down my baseline throw come at the expense of practicing other throws? You bet.

Everyone has to be good. Miss a short one and you’re in trouble. Only get short ones and miss the baseline and you’re in trouble. The inkastare makes the difference in most games now. Then it’s short mistakes or amazing baseline work that seals the win.

Worked well. Relying on replies gets to a point where theres not much space, but that may be a display iPad issue. Live comment updates is fancy. Agree that it reminds me of google wave. I may try this for another project. Thanks for putting this up.

I want to say a big Thank You to everyone that has made Planet Kubb what it is today. Many have tried to put together a online community for the game, and this is the only successful attempt to date. Thanks for all the late night, coding, and hard work in front of the radiating glow of a monitor!

Much appreciated @dobbie. I see you regularly adding to Planet Kubb Wiki too, and thanks for that. The goal here is to make something that the whole Kubb community sees as theirs! Just keep pushing it along.

I would really, really like to make a tournament schedule widget that people can put on their sites powered by the Planet Kubb Wiki. That way everyone has the right and current info without duplicating it all. The wiki needs a lot of polish though. That will come with time.

Also @dobbie, as a tournament organizer (which I’m not!) I would love to know if you think there are fields on the events form that are needed and not there, or problems with how information is recorded (like should it have date and time, instead of just date? Should team size be a field?)
